At a glance:
The spill proof seal of the Nuby 360° Insulated Maxi Cup is a genius idea when it comes to baby weaning products, and our panel of mum testers found it actually worked. The cup is convenient to clean as you can disassemble it and clean the different parts separately, before easily slotting them back together. A great sippy cup choice for weaning!
What they say:
“Nuby’s new 360 Maxi cup, designed for little ones 12 months plus, is the easiest, next step to big kid drinking. It is a doddle to drink from and makes the transition to open cup drinking easier with its 360 pressure sensitive technology. It has a clever spill proof seal which is ultra-hygienic and dentist approved. With a watertight coverlid you can just throw it in your bag and go! The insulated double wall traps air between the layers, helping to keep drinks cooler for longer and your little one can hold the cup without their hands getting too cold!”

Would you recommend the Nuby 360° Insulated Maxi Cup to other mums?
I would recommend this product to any mum with toddlers as it is good quality material, the design is cute and it helps to avoid mess while they are eating. Also it is quite easy to dismantle and clean. The bright colours really attract the attention of the kids! The size of the cup makes it easy to bring anywhere as it has a coverlid so you can throw it in the bag with no spillage, also it is microwave and dishwasher safe which is great.
How did this product make your life easier?
This cup really helped me through the weaning journey. We chose to do baby lead weaning and I wanted to avoid him spilling all his water out from a regular cup, so this 360 cup was perfect. Now there is no more mess when drinking water on his own, so I can give him the cup and not worry about it leaking. Also, it is so easy to dismantle and clean in parts, only takes a couple of minutes!
Would you choose this product to win?
I would choose the 360, above all others I have tried, because of the quality. It is BPA free which is important for me when I choose a product. It never spills, no matter what my son does with it. Compared to other products I have tried, it is very easy to dismantle and is a great help that I can put it into the dishwasher and microwave.
What changes would you make to this product?
I think the product is perfect as it is, but if I had to choose something to change maybe I would add handles, I think they would be helpful for younger kids and that would help them to hold the cups and not drop it if they have sticky hands. Maybe the base could be as well a little bit wider, even though the cup never fell from its base I have the feeling that it is a little bit narrow on its bottom part.

Would you recommend the Nuby 360° Insulated Maxi Cup to other mums?
I would recommend this to friends because I think it’s a very clever idea. I’m not entirely sure how practical it actually is, as my little one is too small to use it properly, but I will persevere!
How did this product make your life easier?
This is a fantastically clever product that allows you to take out drinks with no worry of spillage! My little one is only four-months-old and not quite figured out how to use it, but so far just likes to munch on the cup. I do think the mechanism is very well designed for an older child.
Would you choose this product to win?
The 360 cup is the only product I'm aware of that has this mechanism and I would use it because it’s very good quality and does what it says on the tin. I love the colour and design. Therefore, I would probably choose it to win yes!
What changes would you make to this product?
If I could change one thing about this product, I would add handles to make it easier for smaller children to hold. Other than that, I think it’s very functional as it is.

Would you recommend the Nuby 360° Insulated Maxi Cup to other mums?
I would recommend this to my friend whose son has reflux, as the liquid comes out slowly, which is perfect for him as he can't have anything that comes out too quickly. I love that it comes with a handy lid. It’s very easy to wash and all of the parts fit nicely back together.
How did this product make your life easier?
When I received this product, I immediately liked the idea that it wouldn't leak if tipped upside down. The pattern is lovely and eye catching as well! My son is 15-months-old and there were definitely no spills. The only thing is, he sometimes struggled to get the juice out of the cup in the first place, and got frustrated so stopped using it.
Would you choose this product to win?
I personally wouldn't choose this product over another on the market, purely because it was so hard to drink from. Although I love the idea, when I tried to take a sip myself, even I struggled to get the juice out, so it must be even harder for a one-year-old.
What changes would you make to this product?
If I had to change anything about this product, it would be to make the flow a little bit faster. The product itself is well designed, colourful and easy for children to hold. It has a lid to cover the cup and can be put in your bag without worrying that it’s going to spill everywhere or leak.

Would you recommend the Nuby 360° Insulated Maxi Cup to other mums?
I would recommend this product to my mummy friends as it really easy to use, simple to clean and looks great. The best thing is that it has a keep clean lid which is great for chucking into your bag or putting under the pram. It's so simple for the little ones to use and not too babyish!
How did this product make your life easier?
As my daughter is three-years-old, I don’t need to keep my eye on her as much now but, as most mums know, three-year-olds can still be very accident prone! My daughter likes to drink from a ‘big girl cup’ but that means we get a lot of spillages – this is why I love the 360° maxi as nothing ever spills and she loves it! It's made my life so much easier.
Would you choose this product to win?
I would choose the 360° maxi to win as I have used quite a lot of other cups in the past and this is the best one I’ve come across. It's easy for my daughter to drink from without any accidents! An amazing product – thank you Nuby.
What changes would you make to this product?
The only thing I would change about the 360° maxi cup would be the amount of liquid it can hold. My daughter drinks well and I found I was refilling more often than with her regular child’s beaker. Otherwise, it’s superb!
